To evaluate the impact of institutional initiatives to enhance recruitment of minority students as a strategy to increase diversity and inclusion.
The Office of Recruitment, Development, and Diversity Initiatives (ORDDI) was established and several initiatives were developed within the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy to promote student diversity and engagement. Applicant demographics and admission data were tracked from 2007-2012 to assess program performance and effectiveness.
Over the 6-year period, 812 recruitment events were facilitated. Twenty-nine percent of the students admitted from 2007-2012 participated in 1 or more ORDDI recruitment programs prior to admission. Forty-two percent of this cohort were minorities. The overall average minority profile of students increased from 19% to 25% after establishing the ORDDI.
To achieve student diversity and inclusion, a multifaceted effort is required, involving a continuum of institutional strategies, including innovative practice models and high impact programs.

成立了招聘、发展和多样性倡议办公室（ORDDI），并在北卡罗来纳大学 Eshelman 药学院内制定了多项倡议，以促进学生的多样性和参与度。从 2007 年至 2012 年，追踪申请人的人口统计数据和入学数据，以评估计划的绩效和效果。
在 6 年期间，共促成了 812 次招聘活动。2007 年至 2012 年入学的学生中，有 29%参加了 ORDDI 招聘计划中的 1 项或多项活动。这一群体中有 42%是少数族裔。在成立 ORDDI 后，学生的整体少数民族比例从 19%增加到 25%。
要实现学生的多样性和包容性，需要多方面的努力，包括一系列机构策略，包括创新实践模式和高影响力计划。
